LOCKED: Disgusted with progressives

posted by gut

Supposedly it is going to.  These pols don't always think their actions all the way through - that's what happens when you have a singular focus on polls/elections rather than common sense.

And I don't think most of the Congresspeople are actually stupid, it's just hard to look intelligent while grandstanding, pandering and smearing.

The 3 who put the bill in already said if it goes for a vote they won't even vote yes bc "Paul Ryan doesn't really want to pass it". So it is just more bullshit virtue signaling for the left, proving once again they don't actually give a shit about the actual immigrants, just how they appear.

I heard the dems who submitted the bill stated they are going to vote no, and are accusing Ryan of playing political games by bringing it up for a vote.

Step 1 - Play political games by submitting a joke of a bill

Step 2 - Accuse speaker of playing political games by bringing it up for a vote

Step 3 - ???

Step 4 - Profit

Wait, what did they actually say?  There's no way they just said they'd vote no because the Speaker, who is from the opposite major political party, doesn't want it to pass.

That sounds a bit like a desperate "oh, shit...we fucked up".

Bring it up for a vote.  Let all the Dems vote "no" and give your people something to hit back with on [some] of the immigration bullshit.

"We know Speaker Ryan is not serious about passing our 'Establishing a Humane Immigration Enforcement System Act,' so members of Congress, advocacy groups, and impacted communities will not engage in this political stunt," the Democrats said in a joint statement.

"If Speaker Ryan puts our bill on the floor, we plan to vote no and will instead use the opportunity to force an urgently needed and long-overdue conversation on the House floor," it continued. "We will discuss the thousands of families still separated by President Trump’s cruel zero-tolerance policy, the 800,000 young people whose lives have been thrown into turmoil by the President’s decision to end DACA, and the abuses carried out by Immigration and Customs Enforcement."

Probably Paul Ryan's best move in over two years. Pretty solid face plant by the democrat party on this. 

Also media, I don't give a fuck about what people in England think of Trump. K, thanks

The "yuge trump baby blimp" we were promised turned out to be more than a little disappointing.

It is pretty sad looking.  Of course Trump can't be a big enough boy to not get his feelings hurt over it.  Considering how many people he has called ugly, stupid, pathetic, etc, you'd think he could get as good as he can give.  Not so.

I'm not surprised at all. It's par for the course with this guy!

Edit

Ughh! I'm thinking I'm feeding right into the stupidity. Trump is an ass but so are the people putting money up into this sort of thing. Frying pan -------> Fire

I first saw this on Tim Pool's channel and he raises some good points about it. Notice there's no racial descriptors used in this headline

Lol Scarlett Johansson dropped out of a movie bc the progressive Nazis decided that a female couldn’t portray a female pretending to be a male (transgender) in a movie. Regressiveness at its finest. And these freaks want to be taken seriously...

But it's pretending. That's what actor's do - they pretend to be something or somebody that they are not... Who cares if an actor is pretending to be something that they are not? 

I don't know, I don't get it. I guess we might have reached the point where we are so spoiled that we've run out of things to be offended by and now it's any little pretend thing.

Yeah I'm not sure how pretending to be trans is different than pretending to have any other mental disorder.

I thought it was because she would take away work from an actual transgender actor [lmfao].

Also, LOL at "suspension of disbelief" thinking Scarlett Johannsen was born a man.
